"I know spiritual blood."

"What is spiritual blood?" Bian Sanglan asked again.Baili Miyin once said that spiritual blood is the indispensable medicine primer in the secret technique of the golden elixir scroll longevity. She had asked about it once before, but Baili Miyin kept his mouth shut.

"You don't care what the spiritual blood is, I will offer it when needed."

Still unable to get an answer, Bian Sanglan curled her lips, very annoyed.

"Ayin, is the red feather arrow passed down from generation to generation by the priest of Cansai?" Hu Wan asked.

"The reason why it is called the Red Feather Arrow is because the feathers at the tip of the arrow are dyed with cinnabar, so the cinnabar is the key."

"Well, it's like writing. The brush is not the key, but the ink is." Hu Wan deliberately mentioned writing, looking at Baili Miyin with suspicion, her eyes full of cunning.

"..." Baili Miyin raised an eyebrow unconsciously.

"Aside from spiritual blood and cinnabar, what else do you know?" Bian Sanglan asked Baili Miyin.

"Only."

"..." Bian Sanglan cursed, knowing that she could not count on Baili Miyin, she could only place her hope on Hu Wan. "What do you think, Doctor Hu? When you were in Cangsai, you said you had some clues, so tell me quickly."

"Xiaoyue's talent, witch Zhu's descending instrument, medium for divination, spiritual blood dotted with gold armor, red feather reveals the secret agreement, escapes the eight gates of the formation, pan chi lays down its head, and owl honor unseals." Hu Wan relied on memory verbatim. Repeat the revelation and say, "Now that the puzzle is half solved, we now need to figure out what the covenant is, and then everything will be solved."

"In your opinion, what is a secret agreement?" Bian Sanglan asked.

"I don't dare to speak nonsense, I will know when night falls."

"..." Bian Sanglan gasped in his chest.She waited anxiously for Hu Wan to explain why, but the three of them analyzed it for a long time, but they couldn't come up with a result. "You are so annoying. You told me to wait from Cangsai back to Tiancanzhuang, and now you tell me to wait from day to night. You and Baili Miyin are like this, and you have something to hide. Do you want to piss off the owner of the village! I No matter, I want to know now, and I also want to listen to nonsense."

A fire broke out at the city gate, which affected the fish in the pond. Baili Miyin was innocent.

Bian Sanglan, who was angry, showed a majesty of prominent status, which made Hu Wan dare not disobey.Hu Wan thought for a moment and said, "I think the secret agreement is hidden in the red crystal."

Bian Sanglan was a little dazed when he heard the words, and couldn't remember what red crystal was.

"Such a large piece of jade is rare in the world, and its transparent and flawless color is also top-grade. However, the Baili clan has lived in seclusion in the remote Cangsai for generations, aloof from the world, and does not seek fame and wealth. It is definitely not the reason to hide it in the ice cave. It will appear in the ice cave, and it must have some other purpose. I can't help but wonder if it is related to the copper owl."

When mentioning the ice cave, Bian Sanglan suddenly remembered that the red crystal that Hu Wan mentioned was the jade of the Panchi totem.When Baili Miyin fished it out of the ice well, Bian Sanglan still doubted the ownership of that piece of ruby.

Bian Sanglan nodded again and again, agreeing with Hu Wan's analysis very much, but then became puzzled, and said: "The red crystal is crystal clear, and you can tell if there is a secret agreement at a glance. Why wait until nightfall, let's take it out and see it now."

Although it was inspired by the colored seal of the Panchi, it was about the secrets of the Baili clan, and Hu Wan couldn't tell the truth to Bian Sanglan.Her eyes flicked, and her mind quickly compiled words that made sense.After a while, she said without changing her face: "My master has a close friend who cultivates Taoism, lives in Qingyun Temple, and has been in the cultivation halls all year round. I remember he once said that those cultivators will hide their minds in the jade jade that they wear. In the decoration, you need to see it under the moonlight."

Lies that are both true and false are the easiest to deceive people.Baili Miyin looked at Hu Wan without a trace, if she hadn't known the truth, she would have been fooled by Hu Wan's few words.

"So that's how it is." Bian Sanglan firmly believed in Hu Wan. "It seems that we can only wait until night. I hope that as you guessed, the secret agreement will be hidden in the red crystal."

Bian Sanglan lay flat on the soft couch, yawning, trying to catch up on sleep, it was best to wake up at night, otherwise the wait would be too long.Her eyelids were sleepy, but her head was active, and the more she tried to fall asleep, the more awake she became.She tossed and turned, sighed, her mood became more impetuous, and she even got angry with Baili Miyin.She thought about it, since she met Baili Miyin, she has never had a peaceful night's sleep, it's really hateful.

"Wan'er, after the matter is completed, let's go to Qingyun Temple and pay a visit to Taoist Master Li Tang. You may not have seen Taoist Changchi for a long time." Baili Miyin made a plan, not seeking Hu Wan's opinion.Baili Miyin thought, besides herself, the closest person to Hu Wan is her master.She is a long-lasting person. Although she doesn't mention it usually, she must be worried about her in her heart.

Hu Wan has never been back to Baisha Town since senior brother Wei Feng died.She has always been ashamed of Wei Feng's death, which made her unable to face Taoist Changchi calmly, and was also afraid of thinking about others when she saw things.She still has a knot in her heart, but she also understands that avoiding is not an option, and it is impossible to never see Master again.However, Baili Miyin's proposal to go to Qingyun Temple at this juncture is definitely not a whim.

"I'm afraid Ayin simply wants to visit Taoist Master Li Tang." Hu Wan's eyes are bright, and she knows Baili Miyin's thoughts like the palm of his hand. "You want to give the golden pill to Taoist Li Tang."

Baili Miyin had no objection, and said: "Not only Taoist Li Tang, but also Taoist Changchi, I don't know if your master will accept it."

Hu Wan doubted that she had heard it wrong, she was quite surprised, but also pleasantly surprised and moved, with mixed feelings at the moment.Hu Wan understood that Baili Miyin was willing to give the golden elixir to Taoist Changchi because she didn't want her to lose her master who was like her dearest relative.She followed her father as a doctor since she was a child, and later joined her master Changchi Taoist. She has seen as many patients as stars, and she has long been indifferent to birth, old age, sickness and death.She never had extravagant hopes for Jindan, and even though she had a long life by accident, she never thought of benefiting her family.Today, Baili Miyin's gift is simply a kindness to Taoist Changchi.

"He will accept it." Hu Wan tightly held Baili Miyin's hand, her gratitude was beyond words. "My master is not a sage. He has always been fond of alchemy. Apart from helping the world and saving people, he also seeks to prolong his life. If you decide to give him the golden elixir, he will be overjoyed. It's just that my master has nothing to do with the three-body clan. You just gave him the golden elixir for nothing. Would it be wrong?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. I just hope that your master can play chess with Li Tangdao all the time, so that he won't bother me from time to time." Baili Mi said duplicity, and didn't want Hu Wan to have any psychological burden, so he reasoned out of selfishness. "You know how noisy he is."

Hu Wan smiled at Baili Miyin, pointed out: "Since you are bothering Taoist Litang, why give him the golden elixir?"

"..." Baili Miyin was speechless.

After finally staying up until night fell, Bian Sanglan came to Xiyuan with the copper owl in her arms and the four guardians, full of energy.She ordered the four guardians to guard outside Xiyuan and not allow anyone to enter.

Baili Miyin and Hu Wan stood side by side in the porch, but seeing the quiet moonlight tonight, they couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Let's start." Before Bian Sanglan approached, the voice came first.Really impatient, not much greetings, straight to the point.

When Bian Sanglan arrived, Baili Miyin did not delay, she took the red crystal stone and walked down the porch, found an open space in the courtyard in front of the house, and slowly held the red crystal stone flat in front of her body.

Hu Wan and Bian Sanglan surrounded them with light steps, not daring to show their breath, and stared at their feet without blinking.

After a while, Bian Sanglan's eyes were sore, but there was no change on the floor tiles.She was discouraged and said: "I can even see a few ants on the ground clearly, but I can't see any secret agreement. I can see inside this red crystal..."

Bian Sanglan glanced at the red spar inadvertently, and her voice stopped abruptly.She stared at the red crystal in Baili Miyin's hand in a daze, in amazement.

Hu Wan didn't wait for Bian Sanglan's next words, but when she looked up, she saw her bright eyes. Following her eyes, she saw that the red crystal was slightly blue.Take a closer look, those unusual lights seem to be swimming in the ruby, like flowing blood, slowly pouring into the engraved Panchi totem, which makes people feel that it will come alive and jump out.

"Look at the ground." Baili Miyin said.

As soon as the words fell, Hu Wan and Bian Sanglan looked at the ground together.

At this time, the faint hexagrams appeared on the ground, and gradually became clear under the long-term gaze of the three people.In each of the eight directions of the hexagram of the formation, there is a pan chi, facing the eye of the formation, making a desk posture.

"Pan Chi bows its head!" Hu Wan whispered, and said, "The hexagrams in front of me should be the secret agreement."

Baili Miyin frowned and looked at it for a long time, but seeing that it was an eight trigrams formation with eight gates opened, and the gates of the formation were guarding the prostrate Pan Chi, which undoubtedly confirmed the revelation.However, Baili Miyin noticed that the eyes were blank and there was no picture, which puzzled her quite a bit.She pondered for a moment and said, "Bian Sanglan, put the copper owl on the eye of the formation."

"Ah? Where...is the eye of the formation?" Excited Bian Sanglan looked confused.

"The gap in the center of the array."

Bian Sanglan carefully placed the copper owl on the eye of the formation according to her words.Before she backed away, the copper owl in the eyes cast an obvious mark on the top of her skull under the projection of the enveloping moonlight.

"Baili Miyin, look here." Bian Sanglan couldn't hold back her surprise, and raised her voice, "There is a mark here, which looks like a bird's feather."

"Akabane Zhao makes a secret agreement, Wan'er, put some cinnabar on it." Baili Miyin ordered.

"Okay, I'll get it." Hu Wan replied, and hurried back to the room.

"Baili Miyin, can you open the copper owl by touching cinnabar?" Bian Sanglan squatted in front of the copper owl, raised her head and asked Baili Miyin.

"Then what do you want?"

"Then what am I going to do?"

"I think this feather imprint is like a keyhole. You put cinnabar on it to make a mark, and then it's up to you to show your skills."

The enlightenment mentioned the great method of probing the sky thunder. Since the copper owl needs to be opened by witchcraft, Bian Sanglan already knew where to lead the sky thunder, looking at the imprint on the top of the copper owl's skull.

Hu Wan fetched the brush and cinnabar and handed them to Bian Sanglan.

Bian Sanglan picked up the brush, dipped it in cinnabar, and lightly traced the mark in red like embroidery.

Baili Miyin kept holding the ruby ​​stone in both hands, a little acidic, and couldn't help urging: "Hurry up!"
